Kath Kennedy was born in Kent, UK, and emigrated to Australia with her family.

Kath first took up the violin in school, but in 2000, Kath rediscovered her violin, this time as a fiddler playing Celtic folk music. Since then, she has played with local folk groups including The Wattles and Ryebuck Sheilas, and from time to time is a guest fiddler with other folk bands.

Kath presents fiddle workshops at folk events including the Stinky Creek and Fleurieu Folk Festivals, and also teaches fiddle to private students. She supports music within the community, regularly performing with other like-minded musicians at retirement homes, hospitals and community centres.

Over the last few years, Kath has been exploring singing, including vocal studies as a private student and at TAFE. In June 2008 she was placed 2^nd in the Golden Voice section at the Strathalbyn Eisteddfod. She also tinkers with the mandolin and guitar.

In addition to being a member of Rose 'n Thorns and the Adelaide Scottish Fiddle Club , Kath enjoys playing fiddle and singing at folk music sessions with other musicians, - sharing and exploring a variety of musical styles.
